First, the great depression of 1930 was not as a result of the Spanish Flue of 1918-1919 but a tumble in USA stocks which spread to other parts of the globe.
2ndly, if the movement is truly curtailed during this period the curve would be truly flattered. A security man went to Kano and back during the last 2 weeks and one of the people that died recently travelled from Lagos to Ondo. If movement is truly halted be sure Nigeria would be out of the wood.
Economic crash is inevitable but I trust and believe Nigeria and Nigerians to bounce back stronger than before.
If 100,000,000 Nigerians get infected and 5% of that number dies which includes the parent of your enemy, siblings of a hater and kids of a known enemy just so we all can get infected to develop a medically unconfirmed immunity for getting reinfected?

helinues:
Lockdown only if both states and Fg will provide reasonable palliative items not all this audio one.

We need to contain the virus once and for all

But if no sustainable relief materias from government, then expect people to defy order.

Hunger kills faster than Coronavirus

BTW, what is happening in Kano?

theGigolo:


Guy see I like your analytical reasoning but I think it's not for everyone, your answer was so detailed that I had to read all the threads to read up on your follow up answers. Just ignore this people.

As at April 1st we had less than 200 cases
As at April 26th we have over 1000 cases

Make we dey see as e go first.

Philantropists:

Very good OP.


I will do giveaway of N10,000 each to 20 people, stay tuned.

Toor

Let it not look like I'm pessimistic.

The same Nigerians screaming for the removal of the lockdown will enforce it on themselves when shiit hits the fan

izzou:
For me, I still support the LOCKDOWN for the next one month

Let us sacrifice this little time and see the curve flatten to a reasonable extent.

Nigerians sef are not helping. Stay at home, everyone is screaming hunger (which is true). But isn't it better to feel hunger, than see your loved ones die because of something without cure?

Face masks can be enforced, but it's difficult for Social distancing to be. From markets, to banks, to busstops, to churches, to everywhere....Only walking along Idumota or Obalende sef na wahala

If this lockdown is lifted, na God hand we dey. NCDC are already overburdened despite thelockdown. Imagine when it's lifted

This is a very big risk to be taken on Monday. God will see us through

sean079:


We trusting our people to obey simple laid down rules is the first steps in building a nation. We cannot distrust our people and expect them to become developed and be civilised. No wonder Nigerian politician are contracting out simple task that can be done by citizens to foreigners. This mentality of judging our people incapable of simple tasks need to stop.

chuxyfranklin:


Ghana with a population of 30 million has carried out over 80,000 tests while Nigeria with a population of 200 million has carried out barely 8000 test.

Your country isn't ready yet. You're locking people down, how many tests have you r country carried out to ensure the curve is flattened as soon as possible?

VaselineCrew:


but why kill the economy for a lockdown that is not being enforced?

aren't you reading the news of people out and about in various streets?

Just case the highways look empty, it doesn't mean people aren't outside. I was shocked when I came out one evening and saw an insane amount of people outside in my area jogging, strolling, gisting outside.

Even when receiving palliatives, the masses form crowds. Did you see the recent crowd of people in Lekki waiting for food?

Even thieves are still crowding, did you see the video in Kano of crowds stealing rice from food delivery trucks?


So on one hand you kill our economy, on the other hand, you implement a lockdown that is a sham. It's a lose lose situation.

Fogman:


Stay at home minimise the chances of contacting it. Maybe I ll need to remind you how crowded Oshodi, Yaba, Mushin, Iyana Ipaja and other public places are. Imagine if only one Covid-19 patient should visit any public place, how many will contact it and in turn take it home and also reinfects others. Please let not allow our anticipated plans or endeavours to becloud our reasoning.

izzou:


You obviously don't understand the essence of the lockdown.

The lockdown is to reduce the spread and discover the infected ones. The reason you have an increased number is because they have increased testing. When the lockdown started, only Lagos and Abuja was testing. Today, more than 10 states are testing

If you run 50,000 tests this evening, you'll definately see over 2000 that are infected.
Does it mean the number is increasing? No

It means you just discovered potential carriers. But then, lets remove the lockdown. and see the numbers reduce drastically(according to you)

Be grateful for small mercies. Some people endured wars for years. Imagine being in your house for years afraid a bomb will come at anytime?

Iamgrey5:
Nah

You the one that doesn't understand the purpose of a lock down, sorry to say.

Lock down is ensure that community spreading is limited, hence countries with a plan to implement the lock down have succeeded in limiting the spread..

However, in Nigeria the government had no plan and tested very little, hence the cases couti

in addition, they also provided very little social safety net because they have no idea or resources to implement social security that would

izzou:


Really?

babyfaceafrica:


Sweden is not on lockdown and has never been on lockdown and heaven did not fall.. So what is all these noise that bodies will be flying around. The bodies that herds men and Boko don kill wetin happen?...

fortran12:

Yes. Most people get well from the virus. It's hype that is making it seem seem huge. Am sure you saw the post on naira land saying some people can have it and won't know.

fortran12:

So you rather healthy people die cos of lock down from a virus that kills only the old and vulnerable.

xcabczyxabczzzz:

So? It is not a dead sentence. People recover from it.

jagaban002:

That’s why u can never compare Nigeria with Sweden because if not for the lockdown by now they would have already be state of emergency everywhere in the country expecially in Lagos

kikero:


While your chances of passing on from covid 19 go up if you are 'old and vulnerable', that does not mean that someone younger could not die...and it has happened.

fortran12:

Vulnerable means people with underlying illness. They could be young or old. It's not 100 percent that these set of people will die, they just have a higher risk of dying

izzou:


So, i guess the 80,000 deaths in the USA should be insignificant then.

Or what do you think?

kikero:


People have died of covid19 without 'underlying illnesses.'...while some with underlying illnesses, or who are old (and some are very old) have survived.

izzou:


Its like i used too much vocabulary

The purpose of the lockdown is to reduce the spread, while they fish out those infected, and they will achieve that through testing

Because the numbers are increasing doesn't mean its spreading. It means that they are increasing the number of tests done.


Like i said, let them remove it. The confirmed cases will probably drop to 50 before Friday, since the lockdown is increasing it

fortran12:

Lol. Where did u get your stats from? Also note hunger kills 25000 everyday and the world has not ever stopped to care that much. So why is corona given an elevated status?
